Review summary

This was a long awaited cruise and felt it was very nice, the scenery was absolutely beautiful, weather could have been better but can’t do anything about that. I’m glad I went but don’t think I would do a cruise there again. I did enjoy it.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Steward kept room clean no problems room was a little noisy due to being on deck 5 right above the theater, but not all the time

Ship tip

The ship is older and smaller. Don’t expect it to be like the newer ships. It Can be a lot of fun just keep an open mind

Excursion was cancelled prior to sailing. We did not reschedule anything just got off the ship and went to the 1 shop at the port area, thought it was a waste of time

Some of the store workers in port were rude, I overheard them complaining about the people from the ship being in their town. Wife and I walked out of their store after hearing that
